The Roman Republic never became a Dictatorship. The republic fell and was replaced by 503 year of rule by emperors which was established by Augustus, the first Roman Emperor, in 27 BC. The emperors were absolute rulers.
Julius Caesar had himself appointed dictator for life in 44 BC. However, the term dictator was very different in Roman times. The dictator was an extraordinary officer of state with extraordinary powers who was appointed by senatorial decree to deal with emergencies. Therefore, Caesar's appointment did not amount to dictatorship was we understand it
nowadays.
What was different about Caesar's appointment was that it was as Dictator for Life, a position that no other Roman dictator had ever been offered, it implies a change in the timbre of the office. It was unusual and threatening enough to one group of Senators that it led to Caesar's assassination.

∙ 13y agoThe office of Dictator was always a part of the Roman Republic. It was only granted in emergencies and then only to deal with a crisis. There were many dictators down through the ages. However, at the time of Julius Caesar, the senate granted him the title Dictator for Life, as a means of flattery. Caesar's life didn't last too long after that honor, but it paved the way for the one man rule of the principate.
